Former Graduate Summer Fellow John Okechi Authors Paper on Environmental Health of Lake Victoria

John Okechi, a 2020 Pardee Center Graduate Summer Fellow, recently co-authored a paper exploring the ecological health of Lake Victoria resulting from the rapid growth of cage aquaculture in recent years. About 45 million people depend on Lake Victoria directly and indirectly for their food, economic livelihoods, transportation, and more. To offset the effects of climate […]

Faculty Research Fellow Jeffrey Geddes Presents Research on Global Air Quality at GEOS-Chem Conference

Jeffrey Geddes, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth & Environment and a Pardee Center Faculty Research Fellow, recently presented research at the International GEOS-Chem Conference (IGC10) held at Washington University in St Louis. At the conference, Geddes shared preliminary work in a poster titled, “Impact of Global Climate and Land Use Change on […]

Fulweiler Co-Authors Third Paper Resulting from Pardee Center Workshop on Oyster-Mediated Denitrification

Robinson (Wally) Fulweiler, a Professor of Biology and Earth & Environment, co-authored a new paper exploring using oysters for long-term removal of nitrogen from coastal ecosystems. In the paper, published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, the authors explain that the complex biogeochemistry of denitrification has limited policy consideration of oyster-mediated denitrification within nutrient […]

Fulweiler Co-Authors Paper Resulting from Pardee Center Workshop on Denitrification in Oyster Habitats

Robinson (Wally) Fulweiler, a Professor of Biology and Earth & Environment and a Pardee Center Faculty Research Fellow, co-authored a new paper exploring the opportunities for enhanced denitrification in oyster habitats. In the paper, published in the journal Estuaries and Coasts, the authors explain that policy interest in nitrogen removal from oyster habitats has so […]

Postdoc Kira Sullivan-Wiley Gives Talk on Ecological Forecasting Initiative at AGU Fall Meeting

Kira Sullivan-Wiley, a post-doctoral associate at the Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future, recently presented an overview of the Ecological Forecasting Initiative (EFI) Social Science and Partners & Knowledge Transfer Working Groups. The presentation was recorded as part of a “Town Hall” for the virtual 2020 AGU Fall Meeting. Sullivan-Wiley serves as co-chair […]

Ray and Fulweiler Co-Author Paper on Impacts of Oysters on Coastal Biogeochemistry

Former Pardee Center Graduate Summer Fellow Nicholas Ray and Faculty Research Fellow Prof. Robinson (Wally) Fulweiler co-authored a new paper exploring the impacts of oysters on coastal biogeochemistry. In the paper, published in the journal Nature Sustainability, the authors used a meta-analysis approach to assess how oyster reef restoration and oyster aquaculture development is changing coastal […]

Ecological Forecasting Initiative Launches First NEON Forecast Challenge

The Ecological Forecasting Initiative’s Research Coordination Network (EFI-RCN) has announced the launch of the inaugural NEON (National Ecological Observatory Network) Ecological Forecast Challenge. The challenge asks participants to make predictions about ecological processes using NEON data prior to its release. The challenge spans five themes: aquatic ecosystems, terrestrial carbon and water fluxes, tick populations, phenology, […]
